The impetus behind this book stems from the quest to establish a common ground between industries that hold paramount importance in terms of safety. What sets these industries apart is not only the technological advancements in products and solutions but also the equally stringent safety requirements, particularly when considering the profound influence of human factors. Thus, analyzing the impact of human factors in the realm of safety becomes crucial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe subject matter is intricate, as it involves the interplay between humans and technical systems. On the one hand, humans are responsible for managing these systems, while on the other hand, human errors, negligence, or malicious intentions can transform these systems into grave threats, resulting in catastrophic consequences. However, the human interaction with any technical system begins even before the design stage. In this critical phase, the designer, as the creator of the system, assumes the responsibility of ensuring its safe operation and mitigating potential risks, including those stemming from human factors itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is interdisciplinary in nature, primarily targeting designers of technical systems. Its primary objective is to provide valuable assistance to these specialists in gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities of human participation throughout the life cycle of these systems. The examples provided within the book are intended to draw upon the experiences of multiple industries, fostering a broader perspective and fostering learning from the collective wisdom of the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy exploring the multifaceted aspects of human factors in the context of technical systems, this book aims to equip designers with the knowledge and tools necessary to create safer, more resilient, and more efficient systems that prioritize human well-being and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 530g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789811988318\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yuri Spirochkin","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44272398434554,"sku":"9789811988318","price":116.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_93059960-e926-4103-a09e-78e31e36dadc.jpg?v=1686253287","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/human-factors-and-design-9789811988318","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
